HC summons Commissioner of Rameswaram Municipality on plea to prevent discharge of sewage into sea at ‘Agni Theertham’

The Hindu  

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has summoned the Commissioner of Rameswaram Municipality to appear before the court while hearing a public interest litigation petition that complained about sewage and contaminated water getting mixed into the sea at ‘Agni Theertham’ in Rameswaram. He said that the ‘Agni Theertham’ was an important theertham, abutting the Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameswaram. He said that the road and padithurai leading to ‘Agni Theertham’ were in a bad condition. The petitioner sought a direction to the Ramanathapuram Collector to take necessary steps to prevent sewage being let into the sea and keep the road and padithurai in a proper condition.
